About This Quote

The war began with words, but none of us paid any attention. Seka Milanovik said that the war began with words, but none of us paid any attention. In the middle of a war, people rarely pay attention to what is spoken out loud unless it’s a shocking statement or a threat. In that case, they might listen to what is being said. But in most cases, people don’t pay attention to words spoken during a war because they think it will have no effect on the outcome of the war.
